Default *** Low Boost Shakedown run yields new best MPH( 8.98 at 158.63 )

Had a great day at the track today , I'm extremely happy with the way my car ran , I made some shakedown runs on low boost and ran a new personal best MPH with a 8.98 at 158.63 pass .

Here's the VIDEO > www.cartek.net/videos/stealth898.wmv

The car is nasty , when I ran my 8.87 pass I was running 19lbs of boost , today I was only running 13lbs and I can go up another 6-7lbs with a bigger wastegate spring , but I need to be able to hook it , the car really needs a boost controller and some datalogging and tweaking of the shift points . Timeslip and video will be up soon . It felt great to be back in the saddle , thanks to the Cartek crew , the car is an animal .

93 octane with a few gallons of 100 unleaded for insurance , no meth . I don't trust straight pump 93 , heard way too many stories about stations pumping 87 out of the 93 nozzle , and I don't trust meth kits .
